At age 23, John Metchie has faced his share of adversity. But as he prepares to play his first NFL game, he's an inspiration. We spoke to those who know him about what makes him special.
The second-year wideout missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury, delaying a long-anticipated debut just a little bit longer. During the offseason before his rookie year, Metchie had headaches and cold-like symptoms for a week or two. He got checked out and in July 2022 was hit with a shocking diagnosis: acute promyelocytic leukemia.
"The biggest thing I took away was just to kind of show up and fight," Metchie said last month."Like, we kind of understand and take for granted life and everything we have to do or everything we get to do during a day. But then when it's taken away from you, whether you're young or old in the hospital, you kind of realize that people see clearly what's important to them and who's important to them.
Metchie underwent treatment at Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Center and was cleared to return to practice in July. Last fall, he hosted his hospital family — patients and staff — on a tour of NRG Stadium, a thank you for their support throughout his treatment.
